Tom,
funny you should say this. I have originally read your post as
pertaining to the BRAKE RESERVOIR! And even typed up hte procedure.
Alas, after I had ralised my mistake I deleted the text. Damn! But this
is very bizzare. We were both reading the "hydraulic" yet both meant the
"brake" reservoir! =8)

Anyway, that tight fitting plastic cylinder with a fine steel mesh comes
out of the brake fluid reservoir by geeeeently prying it out with two
tiny flat bladed screwdrivers from the opposite directions. Please take
extra care as not to splatter any brake fluid droplets onto hte painted
panels.
